I believe that Matt stated on the CorvetteForum that the reserve was just shy of $184,000.

how do you put a price on a car that has 2300 miles - and the biggest - rarest corvette engine? with docs, in a one-year-only color?

I don't know...with white shoe polish on the windshield maybe? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I personally think that the car would have looked better with a set of those GT Qualifier Tires.

Ummm...wouldn't the "biggest and rarest" Corvette engine have been the ZL-1?

Personally I think that ugly corvette would look best hidden inside my garage so that the public won't have to lay eyes on it in disgust.. But if Mo wants some kind if payment to hide this thing away from little children and pregnant mothers.. I've got a 99 Grand Cherokee... Hey, that's an even trade... right?

Rob, Details, details, details, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. Was thye ZL-1 option on the Covettes a regular RPO option that a customer chould read over and check the boz as easily lets say as a AM/FM radio? Or did it take a dealer who knew the correct side door to use at GM, and the correct window of opportunity in which to open it? If it was an RPO anyone could order for what reason can we surmise only two were built? Would the ZL-1 Vette be classified as a regular production car, or more along the lines of the first two ZL-1 Camaro's that supposedly passed to that great muscle car parking lot in the sky? Is it possible those two Corvettes were both prototype builds in which the project was cancelled?
Thanks,
Motown

It was my understanding that the ZL-1 in the Corvette was an RPO, as was the L-72...to get either of those engines in a Camaro, however required the Central Office's blessing. Whether this is right, I honestly don't know, but it sounds good! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
